I think a paper is in order. A learned scholarly piece.

Cultural Appropriation is Cultural Appropriation

Speaking of "cultural appropriation," here's Disney's "Three Little Pigs."

Note that at about 5 minutes in, the Wolf disguises himself as an Orthodox Jew.  "Racist?" "Prejudiced?"  Maybe.---but...what do non-Jews know about Jews?  That they don't eat pork.  So...if the Big Bad Wolf is disguising himself as an Orthodox Jew, what better disguise to try and get in to get next to the Three Little Pigs he desires to devour?

You can look at this as "bigoted' or "racist" if you want to, but I think it's hilarious.

If they did that today with the wolf disguising as a Muslim, Disney would be blown sky-high.

No, you're supposed to be OUTRAGED.

Didn't my little vignette from earlier today teach you anything?!!!

I would love to go back to Oxford. Have you seen The Most Reluctant Convert? It has a couple of scenes filmed there. Highly recommended.
